This happened, in part, because the action was right on their doorsteps: Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the Selma March, the murder of four little girls in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham. It was a spontaneous response to an emerging opportunity, and it occurred all over the South. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHistory Refused to Die\u003c\/i\u003e documents this phenomenon by highlighting the men and women whose artistic accomplishments deserve to be recognized by American art history, identifying six various themes that run through the works of almost all of these Alabama artists: Slavery, Agricultural and Industrial Alabama, The African-American Woman, The Civil Rights Era, Surviving Modern Times, and Autobiography and Commemoration. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeaturing the work of fourteen African American artists from Alabama, including Thornton Dial, Lonnie Holley, Joe Minter, Ronald Lockett, Mose Tolliver, and several quilters from Gee's Bend, Alabama, this volume provides insight into black Alabama and African American visual expression through the presentation and analysis of more than 100 works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Horace Randall Williams, Karen Wilkin, Sharon Holland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692365206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692365205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tinwood Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.30h x 10.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Horace Randall Williams","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992288821503,"sku":"9780692365205","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7324cd9a-65e7-4e8a-9661-4c985cd756d1.jpg?v=1683315174","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/history-refused-to-die-horace-randall-williams-9780692365205","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
